  1. Greylist instead on Maintaining a Publicly Available Blacklist - Mechanisms and Principles · · Score: 2

    Use greylisting as a first defense - easily configurable in postfix, and it reduces the amount of spam dramatically. This relies on the behavior of the sender, rather than someone else's opinion of them.

  2. And not a single definition of CISPA on Google, Apple Lead Massive List of Companies Supporting CISPA · · Score: 2

    Way to go Slashdot "editors". What the hell is a CISPA?

  3. Re:Ah, these Europeans... on Iceman Had Bad Teeth · · Score: 0

    You have bad teeth, and BO. The combination cancels out the hot.

  4. Two parties aren't actually alternatives on "Choice Blindness" Can Transform Conservatives Into Liberals - and Vice Versa · · Score: 1

    Whether you vote Demican or Republicrat, you're basically voting the same thing. Increased government control and eroding personal liberties. You can argue on the what and how, but the why is already pretty much a fait accompli.

    People flip between parties because the parties offer similar platforms. It's just a question of which gives the most bread and offers the most entertaining circuses.

  5. all these balloons on Swedish Engineer's RC Plane Gets a Balloon Lift To Space · · Score: -1, Troll

    End up somewhere, usually in the stomachs of marine mammals.

  6. TLS and private mail server on IRS Can Read Your Email Without Warrant · · Score: 1

    So, when you have TLS and a private mailserver, how does this work exactly? Who are they tapping?

  7. RFC for shit-togetherness ? on Draft IETF Standard for SSH Key Management Released · · Score: 1

    If people are lazy or stupid or both, how does some buzzwordy document help this?

  8. "Lightning researcher" on "Dark Lightning" Could Expose Airline Passengers To Radiation · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    a) people have been flying in planes for years
    b) there's nothing you could do about this
    c) total waste of government funding

  9. Too little, too lame on HP Launches Moonshot · · Score: 2, Informative

    HP tried this with Transmeta a while back, and produced blades that completely sucked - WAY too slow. Individual machines on blades are dead, unless you need HPC type power, and Atom ain't that. If you need to squeeze 1800 limp servers into a rack, VMWare and its children are already there.

    Sorry HP, you suck. Go back to making shitty printers, and then get out of the way. Hopefully your corpse will provide the fertilizer for some new market leader to grow from.

  10. Existing stuff is Good Enough on New Thunderbolt Revision Features 20 Gbps Throughput, 4K Video Support · · Score: 2
  11. Re:High Speed for who? on Closing the Gap To Improve the Capacity of Existing Fiber Optic Networks · · Score: 0

    One word for you: Move.

    If there's no availability of a particular service which you require in an area you've moved to or live in, you have a choice. Move, or STFU. Stop making this someone else's problem.

  12. Re:If you actually read the article on Increased Carbon Emissions Creating Giant Crabs · · Score: 1

    Cause and effect, how does it work?

  13. Re:Is this not your local net police? on Ask Slashdot: Dealing With Unwanted But Official Security Probes? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Block them anyway; claims it's part of your normal operations. Hint: they're probably stupid enough to use 1 or 2 IPs.

  14. The power of the dollar vs. the power of the gun on Ask Slashdot: Is Making Government More Open and Connected a Good Idea? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    There are people who equate the two, and people who do not. The two camps will never agree. The problem with the first group is that they cannot allow the second to survive.

  15. Re:Alone. on The 'Linux Inside' Stigma · · Score: 1

    Everyone dies alone.

  16. Re:Phone tracking is just part of a wide grid on Ask Slashdot: How To Stay Ahead of Phone Tracking ? · · Score: 2

    All you did was provide a few concrete examples of the issues the submitter posed, and threw in some buzzwords. How are you remotely Insightful?

  17. Weed out naysayers on Steve Jobs' First Boss: 'Very Few Companies Would Hire Steve, Even Today' · · Score: 1

    Is the same as groupthink. You need naysayers.

  18. Re:Slashdot - News by Morons on Raspberry Pi Goes On Sale In US, Sells Out · · Score: 1

    You fail for using the word maker in quotes.

  19. Not sure I understand on A Sea Story: the Wreck of the Replica HMS Bounty · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Why this is "News for Nerds" ?

  20. Great until you need to revoke it on Why Your Next Phone Will Include Biometric Security · · Score: 1

    How do I get a new thumbprint exactly? When Mythbusters can clone my print with a gummibear or scotch tape, and my phone gets hacked, how do I get a new one?

  21. Re:Why ZFS? on ZFS Hits an Important Milestone, Version 0.6.1 Released · · Score: 1

    I get that - but why? Why is it worth the additional hassle?

  22. Why ZFS? on ZFS Hits an Important Milestone, Version 0.6.1 Released · · Score: 1

    What are the advantages of ZFS over, say, ext4? If you have a low-memory machine and not a lot of storage, does it buy you anything?

  23. Re:Better /etc/hosts support on The FreeBSD Foundation Is Soliciting Project Proposals · · Score: 1

    +1 Internets to you, sir.

  24. Re:Decoder Ring for You Out-of-date Nerds on Apache CloudStack Becomes a Top-level Project · · Score: 1, Insightful

    It _IS_ a buzzword, and what you describe is merely a well-run IT org. Because you choose to set off on some NIH path and claim what you're doing is "new" doesn't make it so.

  25. Gaming on Linux? on The End Is Nigh For the Linux Game Tome · · Score: 4, Funny

    There's games for Linux besides TuxRacer?
